I had to do it in the mobile browser. In settings when you turn on 2FA, a button appears above the checkbox. I tapped it in my mobile browser and it opened my authenticator app.

Same here, but I want 2FA secret key for backup option. 😔

Oh yeah. Maybe in the next update, seems pretty risky right now to turn on 2FA.

[–] CyberBoyHere 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, you are right. 2fa code is not working in current update.
